The difference between boat socks and mid-calf socks

The length of mid-calf socks is about the middle of the calf (between long socks and short socks, shorter than knee-high socks, knee-high socks are shorter than knee-high socks, and knee-high socks are shorter than knee-high socks) Stockings), which cover half of the calf when worn, are mostly made of cotton or nylon.
